Diane Brady of Bloomberg Businessweek writes that while Psy is represented by one of the biggest agents in the business- LA talent manager Scooter Braun- he’s not getting the same star treatment as Braun’s other clients.

Ellen DeGeneres was one of the first to secure the man behind Gangnam Style, yet she barely spoke to the artist when he came to her show on Sept. 11 to teach Britney Spears his signature dance. (The pop-star had previously tweeted that she wanted to learn the moves.) Britney’s first words to Park were “show me” while Ellen immediately assumed a dancing stance. (Meanwhile, Simon Cowell, also on hand, couldn’t bring himself to get off the couch.) Psy gamely responded by saying, “By the way, can I introduce myself, not just dance? I’m Psy from Korea. How are you?”

It turns out Psy is a graduate of Boston’s Berklee College of Music and speaks English quite well. You can find out more about him and his music here.

He was totally charming. Asked to turn up the house lights so he could take his picture with the audience because he’d never performed for a crowd so big.

I was crying I was laughing so hard.
